Mormon Insights on 1 Cor: 1-6

Our Sunday school class had great insight for me this week. It was pointed out the details of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Even though it is designated 1 Corinthans, from the content, it becomes obvious that Paul had written them before and they had written back with questions that he was now answering. Among many topics, Paul talks of the Jews and of the Greeks - the one known for knowing the wisdom of God and the other for their analytical abilities - two ends of the spectrum of worldly thought. Paul states: 1 Cor 22: For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness.



It's the same today. We preach of Jesus Christ, the literal son of God, His only begotton Son in the flesh, crucified, atoning for the sins of all the world, deliverer of salvation and the resurrection as a free gift for all, fulfilling the will of His Father and Our Father in Heaven. To the mass of christendom, we're heretical. To the mass of the learned, simply deluded.



Through the foolish (and simple) things of the world is the understanding of God made known. Approach Him and He can faithfully give you all the proof you need. I don't pretend to know all things, but I do know through the undeniable whisperings of the Holy Ghost, that the Lord has re-established His Church and Kingdom on the Earth once more with simple men chosen as prophets to help usher in His Millenial reign. I'm glad to have a small part in it. http://www.mormon.org/

New Guest Room in Dodge


Here's the new look to Genny's room as it has been transformed into a guest room by Farrah and her good buddy Bo.

Farrah came in over the Labor Day holiday and transformed the room from Friday into Saturday night, buying a few important items like lamps, drapes, hardware, wall nick nacks, end tables and also providing a sleep number double bed, that once was a gift to her.

Then she painted and made magic happen.



Thank you, Farrah and Bo.

Seen at Dad's 7th Birthday celebration. (for the 50th time!)

Grandkids in St. Louis

Debbie and I got the opportunity to see 2 of our adorable grandkiddies and our sweet daughter in law. Alexandria and Benny were a delight. It took Bennie a little to warm up, but he came around pretty quick. As you can see, they take great pictures.

McDonald's is 2 blocks away from their Uncle and Aunt's house where they stayed. It has a great playland area. Ben, Alex and their cousin kept busy while we watched. Alexandria kept busy teasing her brother.


There was also lunch at the house. Benny took full advantage of the Juice box.
His sister poses well for Grandma. Hi Grandma!
Debbie couldn't get a picture of Tara until I forced her to sweeten up my image.

We were so thankful to be able to see all you guys. Thanks for letting us interrupt your holiday, it was so wonderful.

We love you all.
